What moss actually does to your roof

Moss holds water against the tiles, which speeds up wear in winter. It lifts and displaces tiles as it grows, creates gaps, and breaks off in chunks that block gutters and downpipes. Left alone, it turns a small maintenance job into a leak risk.

We see this most often on properties in Filton, Frampton Cotterell and the greener parts of North Bristol, where tree cover keeps roofs damp and moss spreads quickly.

Holds water against tiles

Constant moisture accelerates frost damage and shortens the life of the roof surface.

Blocks gutters

Loose moss washes into gutters and downpipes, causing overflows and damp walls.

Our roof cleaning method

Soft wash, not pressure wash

Pressure washing strips the granular surface off concrete tiles and takes years off the roof. We use a low-pressure soft wash instead.

Biocide treatment

A biocide treatment kills remaining moss, algae and lichen and keeps the roof cleaner for longer. Results continue to improve over the following weeks.

Gutter clearing included

We clear the gutters and downpipes of moss and debris at the same visit so the whole system works properly.

Frequently asked questions

We use low-pressure soft washing rather than a jet wash. That removes moss, lichen and algae without stripping the surface of the tiles or forcing water under them.

Most domestic roofs take between half a day and a full day depending on size, pitch, access and how heavy the moss growth is.

It grows back slowly over several years, faster on shaded or north-facing roofs. A biocide treatment after cleaning keeps the surface clear for much longer.

We clear any moss and debris that comes down during the clean, and we can clear and check your gutters at the same visit if you would like it included in the quote.

We inspect the roof first and will tell you honestly if soft washing is not suitable. Where tiles are cracked or brittle we will flag it before starting rather than risk damage.
